Department Chair Director of Clinical Audiology Associate Professor
Dr. Gambino is passionate about both her clinical audiology work and her support of
student learning. As a proud alumna of SUNY Plattsburgh, she strives to provide the
same rigorous and compassionate learning environment that she was lucky enough to
thrive in as a student. As an audiologist living with hearing loss, she provides and
advocates for inclusive patient-centered care across the lifespan. Her research areas
fuse these two passions together and focus on teaching and learning in communication
sciences and disorders and professional issues in speech-language pathology and audiology.
